Stories for a better planet

A Fable from the Himalayas

The film is a magical tale about a young boy who finds the solution to Global Warming from a monk in the mountains.

The film was shot in the remote ice desert region of Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh, India (Bordering Tibet).The entire cast was from Kaaza, a small town in Spiti Valley. The film was made possible by Spitiecosphere, an NGO based out of Spiti.

The UN environment program picked up this film for their Billion Tree campaign.

The main intention of this film is to spread the message of how fast Global warming is impacting fragile ecosystems. Instead of choosing to spread the message in the form of a documentary, which has limited audience, we chose to make a fairy tale. To present the problem and a possible solution in the form of a fable which would appeal to people across age groups and countries.

Hi. the film is great. But is planting trees a solution to climate change and depleting water level? I guess not. We the city walas have to think of life style changes too. And that in a big way. Less consumption to me is the key. CAn you do a simple message arround this too. But the seed of idea has been planted and talk has begun. Keep planting and producing debates and table thumping discussions.
Great work
